JomSocial 4.2.2 Is Out!

JomSocial 4.2.2 is mostly a bugfix release squishing all the bugs found since the previous version. It also introduces a new feature allowing administrators to require repeating the email address during the registration process. To see the list of all changes, visit our changelog page.
